Why so much hate for Dillon

Okay, but even if he is first party, he's still a 2-game character with a 63% on GameRankings, 65 out of 100 on Metacritic, 8 out of 10 on IGN and an A- on 1UP.com. There are lots of characters with at least 2 games and at least that good of reviews. What's so much better about him?

Sakurai complained about the absence of new Nintendo IP's during Brawl. Between Pikmin and Brawl, there was a huge gap and a significant lack of new Nintendo IP's. Capt. Olimar made it into Brawl, he represented the Pikmin franchise, which at the time, consisted of two entries in the series.

If we look at the time between post Brawl and now, there has been a small boost in new IP's, namely: Xenoblade, The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Disaster - Day of Crisis and Dillon's Rolling Western. There are prolly a few more but these are the one that came up in my head.

Out of those, only Dillon's Rolling Western, and seemingly Xenoblade, are franchises. Dillon is a perfect fit for a game like Smash Bros.He is new, relevant and a critter that could represent Nintendo's eShop as a whole. Be that in a playable form or AT of some sort, that is a different matter. In my opinion, he is what Masahiro Sakurai was looking for, a new protagonist from a new series from Nintendo.---PSN: SuB-Bastion

I've never seen any hate for him in terms of smash... no really, all the hate I've seen is for female characters, japan only characters, Shulk, and various 3rd party characters such as Sora or Megaman.

Hell, most people I've seen want him in to replace Sonic due to his ability to role into a ball, thus making Sonic obsolete.

Sonic deserves to be in ssb4 he is video game icon but dillon is from a downloadable game published by 2nd party company. Even if he is getting 2nd game his chances are real slim---Yeah,more spondoli.*Conker's bad fur day*
